Ello

"i. once i dreamed of you
of your hand in mine
your hope leaving a gentle imprint
upon my soul.
i dreamed of a future of love
two hearts beating in sync
a shoulder to lean upon
when walking so far
becomes too hard for one soul
to manage all alone.
ii. i dreamed of the middle
of the easy peace
that comes with complacency
and your arms around me
sleeping peacefully
knowing nothing but of safety
within your love
iii. but with dreams of beginnings
and of middles
there must also be endings
and dear, i dreamed of ours
of tears and slammed doors
and screaming long into the night.
slowly drifting apart
doors closing halfway
before shutting fully
until my hand no longer
reached and yearned for yours
although my heart forever will
whether this is a dream
or something more."
